Pousada Sao Sebastiao

Overview

Pousada Sao Sebastiao was opened as a hotel in 2006, this stunning 16th century fortress has been cleverly converted, maintaining a functional military feel in the new building and a cosy old world charm in the old building.

With an unrivalled position overlooking the bay of Angra and just a few minutes walk (downhill) into the centre of this World Heritage town, this has to be the place to stay in Angra. You enter through the original small and austere opening in the fortress wall into a welcoming reception and a lawned area with swimming pool and loungers and magnificent ocean views.

Pousada Sao Sebastiao has 29 rooms (9 double, 10 twin and 1 suite) divided between superior and standard. Standard rooms are on the ground floor while superior rooms are on the first floor with sea views (and balconies in the new building). All rooms are ensuite and have heating, air conditioning, safe, WiFi, minibar, hairdryer, telephone, and cable LCD TV. There is also a room for guests with limited mobility.

Other facilities include a small outdoor freshwater swimming pool (not heated), bar and restaurant (seats 62).

One of the highlights of staying at Pousada Sao Sebastiao are the ramparts which are mostly intact and you can walk around them and enter the two dome covered stone watchtowers – makes for a lovely walk at sunset!

Azores Choice provided a prompt, helpful service. they found us the perfect accommodation for our needs and provided superb, expert advice on how to spend our week walking on San Miguel. I would certainly use them again.

Recommended small travel company!

Great little company with friendly staff. Organisation of flights & accommodation very efficient. When problems arise they are helpful and very reasonable in their efforts to resolve them. We would definitely use them again for a return trip.

Everything was excellent. The information and organisation, the hotel and the island itself all exceeded our expectations. Whale watching and other trips out, fantastic. We will book again!

Sao Tome and Principe is Africa’s best kept secret, it’s not the easiest place to get to, and it’s also not for everyone. But it’s worth the effort if you’re adventurous and looking for a safe and fairly untouched and undiscovered holiday destination.
